[QUOTE="Soaplover, post: 399928, member: 336"] The Birds (1963) was always an interesting movie to me.. It seemed almost like two different movies fused together. The first half of the movie seems to be a slow burn character study with Melanie and Mitch meeting, flirting, and she deciding to deliver birds he ordered over to the island. Plus the suble sizing up between Melanie and Annie after it's revealed that Mitch and Annie had a past relationship of sorts.. which was marred due to his domineering mother Lydia. Then the second half of the movie is the bird attacks and most of the character development that occurs is pushed to the side and we have bird attacks with Melanie losing precious IQ points with her less than intelligent moves. The ending of the movie is chilling though. Problem was that the movie seemed half of a typical women's picture and half of a horror movie.. and the parts just didn't connect well enough together to make it a strong movie. [/QUOTE]
